I've always thought of all the championship drivers as gentlemen racers. I know i am and that's how i like to be. I mean its not like you're going to loose your job, thousands of euros from your sponsors, worldwide recognition...
would be interesting if it costed $ to fix the cars hehe...
tehre are a lot of people building 3D concept cars in several forums, like SMCars for example. I'm not a fan of american muscle AT ALL, but variety is always good .
Maybe the devs should/could post a car creation contest for S3?
After reading the stats for Pool 5 and seeing the final combined result of the 2 races in pool 5, i came to the conclusion that this might not be very fair (i mean, right now it is fair, because those are the rules and thats how it works).
I've only taken time to analyze my race: in the overall result for pool 5, i came in 9th In the 30 laps race i finished in 4th, i was the highest climber, did the fastest lap, did the 4th fastest 1st lap, 4th in lap time stability, 4th in average laptime, bset split 1, best split 2, best possible lap, 4th top speed.
Now, in the short 4 laps sprint race, i was last (13th) because i was rammed unfriendly at least a couple of times, and had similar bad results in the other stats.
It seems to me that my 9th overall result is due to the 4 laps sprint race has too much weight in the overall result. 13 + 4 = 17 / 2 = 9?
The sprint race should count 25% at the most.
p.s. don't see this as a rant, i'm just a bit unhappy with the result and took the chance to point out some things that in my opinion are flaws in the system. But anyway, this is the Pre-Season
Edit: just saw that in race 1 i got 61 points for finishing in 10th place, 1 lap behind...
regarding the points given, i think it would be nice to give an extra point to the racer that achieves the fastest lap and also to the racer that leads the races for the most time. That should prevent the lower pool racers from feeling unhappy, regarding the upper pools' points (or sth like that ).
Maybe point penalties for reckless driving, or avoidable 'mistakes' like tapping someone on a turn because they felt optimistic about an impossible overtake?
just a thought, but maybe its time to erase all the S1 movies?or at least the oldest ones, since everything as changed and those don't show what LFS is right now?
thinking loudly, thats all
really surpised that anyone can complain about having a league and servers very well organized without paying a single dime...
I've never been involved in creating/maintaining a league, but i have some experience with gathering individuals for a common goal (most noticeably, the ex-RCME team - for which i pay - that does heaps of stuff for Racer, and now merged with Team Evolution to add depth to the LFS section).
people tend to forget the immense ammout of effort, dedication, time and money that these guys put into this league.
This has been my favourite league since the beginning and this is where i improve my driving. for that, my sincere Thank yous
The merchandise thing sounds great to me, a PM is on its way to you Mrs.FienDi
I'm posting this here because LFS is the only game i can actually see sth is wrong with the acceleration pedal.
It only goes up to 95% (eye-measurement technique ) which is obviously a big problem. Strange thing is, it only occurs when playing online.
Now, this could be one of the following things: 1- DFP connected to USB 1.1 port, my USB 2.0 are disconnected. 2- pedal is becoming loose (!!), 3- LFS has some sort of conflict?
i tested inverting the pedals and the braking pedal accelertaes to 100%.
if it is indeed the pedal, how can i fix it?
thanx
